Man Dies after Being Shot by Cheney

(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) The gunshot victim of former U.S. vice president and longtime deep state operative Dick Cheney succumbed to illness and died Saturday night, closing the chapter on one of the more bizarre incidents in vice presidential history.

Harry Whittington, 95, was a Texas attorney in 2006 when he survived a hunting accident after Cheney, vice president at the time, shot him while tracking quail.

Whittington’s death was unrelated to any lingering effects from the shooting incident, when Cheney sprayed him with more than 200 pellets from a shotgun, the New York Times reported.

Whittington still had about 30 pieces of shot from the incident lodged in his body, including one near his heart, when he died. The injuries Whittington sustained at the time of shooting were more dire than reported at the time, with doctors subsequently revealing that the had suffered a mild heart attack and collapsed lung.

At the time of the shooting, Cheney was roundly ridiculed not only for pumping his friend full of buckshot — Whittington suffered wounds to his face, neck and torso — but also for being slow to issue an apology. Instead, it was Whittington who issued a mea culpa at the time for causing any undue angst.

“My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week,” Whittington said after emerging from a week’s stay in the hospital and intensive care recovering from the injuries.

Cheney and Whittington were part of an exclusive party that was quail hunting on a private Texas ranch when the shooting took place.

Cheney was cleared of wrongdoing at the time, and his comms team at one point even tried to blame Whittington for stepping in front of Cheney, with the official story being the vice president mistakenly discharged his weapon after wheeling to shoot at a noise in the dusk.

“I’m the guy who pulled the trigger and shot my friend,” Cheney eventually conceded days later when it became obvious the spin control wasn’t working. “You can’t blame anybody else.”

In 2011, Cheney wrote in his memoir, “I, of course, was deeply sorry for what Harry and his family had gone through. The day of the hunting accident was one of the saddest of my life.”

Disney Cartoon Song Demands Reparations for Slavery

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) In another massive step Left, Disney released a recent episode of the cartoon series “Proud Family: Louder and Prouder” featuring a song advocating for reparations for black Americans and emphasizing that “slaves built this country.”

In this episode of the show—which is intended for children, but also advocates for stark racial division and gay marriage—the high-school age characters learn about Juneteenth and discover their town’s founder owned slaves.

“We the descendants of slaves in America have earned reparations for their suffering,” four black students chant, while their token white friend stands in the background silently. “And continue to earn reparations every moment we spend submerged in a systemic prejudice, racism and white supremacy that America was founded with and still has not atoned for.”

The kids claim that as the decedents of slaves, they “have earned reparations for their suffering and continue to earn reparations every moment [they] spend submerged in systemic prejudice, racism and white supremacy.

Throughout the course of the song, there are pictures of slaves collecting cotton, hooded KKK figures burning a cross, black historical figures on the face of Mount Rushmore and even the debunked “hands up, don’t shoot,” claim after the Michael Brown shooting in Ferguson, Missouri.

Through the course of the song, there are also cuts of amazed teachers and students. When the performance is over, they are met with thundering applause.

Leftists also applauded the clip, claiming that it is “beautiful” and “powerful.”

“Imagine paying money to Disney to teach your kids to hate themselves and hate their country,” said Human Events reporter Jack Posobiec on Twitter.

“This is a slap in the face to every culture, every race, every color, every human being that came here to build a future for them and their family and support this great nation,” said fellow Twitter user Kelly Justice.

 

Teen Records Heartbreaking Vid a Day Before Vax-Related Death

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) As thousands of vaccinated people across the world continue to “die suddenly” of unspecified causes, yet another tragic story has emerged.

Sarah Blattner, a 14-year-old American girl, died—likely of a heart attack—after a monthslong illness likely brought about by Pfizer’s state-sponsored jab.

Blattner recorded a video of herself just the day before her passing in which she suggested that the vaccine was the cause of her rapid decline.

“I took the vaccine and then, literally in a week, started to lose strength in my legs,” she said.

Per Blattner, she was completely capable of walking after undergoing a prior surgery, but the jab set her back permanently, forcing her to be confined to a wheelchair.

“Which, literally, a day after the surgery, I was able to walk,” she said.

“… I didn’t lose strength from the surgery … so that had nothing to do with it,” she continued. “And then, all of a sudden, I just couldn’t stand up.”

She referred viewers to a Telegram account that has been compiling other evidence and firsthand accounts of serious vaccine injuries.

Blattner’s passing is only the latest in a long string of widely ignored and unexplained deaths since the vaccines first went public in late 2020.

A recent study confirmed what many have suspected: that the jab itself is killing otherwise healthy, young individuals, with an uptick in heart disease and strokes both appearing to be related, even as research shows children are 100 times less likely than adults to die of COVID-19.

Of course, developers of the controversial mRNA vaccines cannot be taken to court, nor can the authoritarian bureaucrats and demagogues who mandated that many Americans receive it in order to participate in the daily functions of society, such as work and school.

Pfizer was recently exposed in a series of bombshell reports from Project Veritas, which revealed, among other things, that the pharmaceutical giant has been systematically  manipulating viral strains so that it can spread the virus around then provide the “cure.”

Such research methods mirror the gain-of-function research that many believe was taking place at the Wuhan Institute of Virology, where a lab leak is presumed to have been the likely origin of COVID-19.

“I hope we don’t discover something really bad down the line,” said Pfizer bureaucrat Jordon Trishton Walker in the hidden-camera recording.

“…If something were to happen downstream and it was, like, really bad? I mean, the scale of that scandal would be enormous,” he continued. “Yeah, or the entire next generation’s super fu**ed up. Could you imagine the scandal? Oh, my God, I would take Pfizer off my resume.”

State Dept. Funnels $750K in ‘Free Speech’ Grants to Radical Activists

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) The Biden regime’s Department of State is attempting to appear bipartisan by offering grants to “free speech” organizations, but is disqualifying any organizations that advocate for conservative values.

According to Breitbart, left-wing advocacy organizations that promote transgenderism, abortion on demand and gender ideology being taught in America’s classrooms are qualifying to receive massive grants from the State Department under the guise of “free speech.”

Inclusion of “women and girls in all their diversity; LGBTQI+ persons, transgender or gender-diverse persons in particular; migrants; members of marginalized, radical, ethnic, and Indiginous communities, religious minority group members; and others targeted by anti-rights actors,” are all qualifiers for the grant, which could be up to $750,000.

The grant, titled “Ensuring Freedom of Expression for Vulnerable and Marginalized Populations Responding to Anti-Rights Efforts and Targeted Attacks,” also stipulates that “support from and participation by lesbian and bisexual women, transgender and intersex individuals, and other gender diverse persons,” is necessary for consideration.

Despite the purported aim to assist in “freedom of expression,” the grant is decidedly biased against conservatives. The funding opportunity seems like a specifically targeted countermeasure against actions taken by Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis.

DeSantis is actively battling the presence of gender ideology, particularly as it pertains to children.

“Increasingly, targeted anti-rights attacks, including ‘anti-gender’ movements, have variously: mobilized public support against inclusive legislation and/or promoted and propagated discriminatory legislation intended to curtail speech,” the funding offer states.

The request elaborates, stating that they will be specifically targeting anti-gender movements that “produced and circulated disinformation,” and “target vulnerable and marginalized communities.”

The State Department is laser focused on disinformation as of late, shelling out $275,000 to produce a video game focused on “countering disinformation.”

The game, which is called “Cat Park,” “inoculates players … by showing how sensational headlines, memes and manipulated media can be used to advance conspiracies theories and incite real-world violence,” according to a memo from Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

While the funding offer does not specify, it is likely that projects similar to “Cat Park” will receive funding.

Biden Admin. Blocked Russia-Ukraine Peace Deal, Says Former Israeli PM

(Ken Silva, Headline USA) The carnage and threat of nuclear annihilation emanating from Ukraine may have been avoided had the Biden administration not interfered in peace talks with Russia, according to former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.

Bennett said in an interview published Saturday that the U.S. and its Western allies blocked a peace deal he helped broker last March between Ukraine and Russia.

According to a translated interview transcript, Bennett said he contacted Secretary of State Antony Blinken in the early days of the war last year, and told him he has Russian President Vladimir “Putin’s ear.”

“I can be a pipeline [for peace talks],” Bennett apparently told Blinken.

Bennett said he had frequent phone calls with Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to relay their demands between each other.

Eventually, Russia guaranteed Zelensky’s safety after the war, and also dropped its demand that Ukraine disarm, according to Bennett.

In turn, Zelensky agreed to making a public commitment that Ukraine would no longer seek NATO membership, which Bennett said was the “reason” for Russia’s invasion, Bennett said.

However, U.S. officials blocked a peace deal from being finalized, he said.

“They blocked it, and I thought they were wrong,” he said. “I’ll say this in the broad sense. I think there was a legitimate decision by the West to keep striking Putin and not [negotiate].”

Nearly a year after the Biden Administration shot down Bennett’s peace efforts, tens of thousands have died, the U.S. is sending tanks to Ukraine as the war escalates, and Putin has threatened nuclear retaliation.

Despite this, the Biden administration has still given no public indication that it’s pursuing diplomacy with Russia. Last Tuesday, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov reportedly said he received a message from Secretary of State Antony Blinken “that Russia should quit, and then everything will be fine.”

Lavrov reportedly responded to Blinken’s message by saying that he’s ready to listen to any “serious” proposal aimed at resolving the conflict.

The one major U.S. political figure calling for diplomacy is former President Donald Trump, who called for peace talks in a statement last Wednesday.

“It’s far past the time for all parties involved to pursue a peaceful end to the war in Ukraine before this horrific catastrophe spirals out of control and leads to World War III,” he said.

“We must end this ridiculous war and demand peace in Ukraine now before it gets worse.”

Woke Grammy Ceremony Flops After Pandering to Transgenders, Satanism

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) The Grammys used to be about music, but the ceremony is now bound and dominated by Satanism and transgenderism.

After pandering to both on Sunday, the ceremony not only drew negative headlines for its overwrought efforts to shock viewers, but still managed to pull in a paltry 12.4 million viewers, Breitbart reported.

Still, it was but the latest in a long line of evidence that the Left’s openly anti-Christian attitudes may be entering a new phase, which some think may signal the end of days.

Sam Smith, a chubby man who thinks he is ‘non-binary,’ performed his pop-music hit “Unholy” at the Grammys, while he, his co-star and backup-dancers were clad in BDSM gear and imitating Satan worship with their ‘dancing.’

Smith acknowledged the Satanic theme, which was made obvious by cartoonish devil horns he wore upon his head.

“I guarantee there will be calls to CBS from outraged Christians,” he said.

Smith leaked details of his planned performance before the ceremony. Somone close to Smith said he would be “playing Satan” and that “there will be a lot of devil type stuff, devil worship.’”

Smith’s co-star is also a man who thinks he is a different ‘gender,’ named Kim Petras, according to Yahoo news. He and Smith, in addition to their Satanic display, won an award for their song “Unholy.” Petras thus became the first ‘transgender’ to win a grammy.

Yahoo news commented on the award, calling it “truly something sacred.”

Petra also wished to speak about the supernatural.

“Sam graciously wanted me to accept this award because I’m the first transgender woman to win,” he said. “Sam, you are a true angel and hero in my life.”

The transgender also speculated about his future with Smith.

“We’ll sing the song for eternity,” he said, speaking of Smith and “Unholy.’

One wonders if Petra understands that Lucifer is an angel and hell is an eternal punishment.

US Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, tweeted about the performance.

“This…is…evil,” he wrote.

The two men pretending to be women were joined by yet another “transgender” at the Grammys, according to Breitbart News.

Dylan Mulvaney, a homosexual and radical activist, was invited to the award show and photographed on the red carpet in a dress.

Mulvaney has been similarly honored in politics, as he was invited to the White House by Joe Biden.

Mich. 2022 Ballot Recount Shows Possible Illegal Activity by Soros-Owned Sec. of State

(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Results from a recount of Michigan’s votes on two ballot initiatives in the 2022 midterm revealed several major irregularities and legal violations that could implicate far-left Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson.

The Election Integrity Force and America Project launched the project, finding that many of the ballots arriving from voting precincts had been improperly handled and showed evidence of possible tampering, Big League Politics reported.

“When the ballot bags or boxes were opened, in many instances, there were additional tags or seals that had been placed on this bag or box in previous sealings that were not available or readily obvious from the vote total or from the ballot book or from any other place contained within the materials as to why or when this box would have been opened and resealed with a different seal,” said Forensic expert Erich Speckin, who is working with the EIF.

Despite multiple allegations of fraud brought up against election officials after the 2020 election, Michigan’s election laws hardly changed.

Instead, the unholy trio of Benson, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer and Attorney General Dana Nessel focused their energies on targeting critics and attempting to punish them with hefty fines and even disbarment.

The three women, who were among the early participants in George Soros’s training programs for political leaders, now have the benefit of a Democrat-led state legislature, assuring even fewer checks on their unconstrained power.

But evidence suggests that such an outcome was not the will of voters.

A final report indicates that 41.5% of the ballot bags and 70% of precincts either did not qualify for recounting or did not match at all.

When working with the state as part of the recount, Speckin also found state officials to be uncooperative.

“As the recount process started, the personnel acknowledged that it was important to confirm that all the ballots that were counted were from the precincts that they were supposed to be from,” Speckin said.

“However, as part of the process, they [Democrat voting officials] would not allow anyone in several of the counties to look at the front of the ballots to confirm, indeed, that the votes that were being counted on the ballot of the ballots were from the correct precincts by viewing the front of the ballot,” he added.

As part of the investigation, volunteers inspected each bag or box of ballots to confirm no one tampered with it. If the packaging was faulty, volunteers did not count the ballots inside.

Volunteers also skipped over ballots that did not match the tally for election night. Investigators have yet to perform a total recount of the collected ballots, but already found scads of evidence of fraudulent activity.

Benson, a former activist with the Southern Poverty Law Center, has not made any comment on the discovery but did recently request $50 million from the state to combat “misinformation” and allow for several changes to Michigan’s voting system.

Proposal 2 is a drastic altering of Michigan voting law, allowing people to vote without ID within the state. It also requires state funded absentee ballot drop boxes, opens up mail in balloting, allows private donations to fund elections and prohibits private election audits.

Proposal 3 made on-demand abortions legal—even for minors. The law also makes it legal for private interests, such as Planned Parenthood, to give minors and adults sex-transitioning hormones and medication.

Illegals in NYC Are Crossing Border into Canada for Better Life

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Although immigration officials recently issued a warning about the porous northern border, new reports suggest that illegals may be crossing in the opposite direction.

Border-hopping asylum-seekers who recently entered President Joe Biden’s decadent and declining United States have begun to cross into Canada, seeking a better life, the New York Post reported.

Fed up with the rampant crime and disgusting living conditions of New York City, illegal immigrants are seeking greener pastures while taking buses paid for by New York taxpayers.

Venezuelan native Manuel Rodon, 26, said that he disliked his time in New York because it was dangerous and drug-ridden.

“A lot of the Americans used drugs there,” he said. “I feel like Canada will be safer. It is a much quieter country than America.”

Peruvian native Susy Sanchez Solzarno, 33, told the Post that America is not worth immigrating to for the same reasons.

“I wanted to live in New York because I thought it would be a better future for my daughters,” she said. “But as the days went by, I saw insecurity, many homeless people, many people who shout and are disrespectful, and many people on drugs.”

For Solzarno, America offers no future for her, or for her children.

“I am going to Canada for the safety and future of my girls,” she added. “I only ask God that everything goes well and that Canada is not like the United States.”

Per the Post’s report, the National Guard confirmed that it was directing illegal immigrants to workers who had free bus tickets.

They also interviewed bus driver Tyler Tambini, who picks up the dozens of illegal immigrants who have traveled from New York City to Plattsburgh, NY, and takes them into Canada.

“There’s gotta be 100 people a day,” said Tambini. “I do this all day. They get dropped off and I take them the rest of the way.”

Upon entering Canada, the illegal immigrants are detained for “processing”, despite Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s full-throated commitment to diversity.

“You have entered into Canada. You are under arrest,” a Mountie reportedly told illegal immigrants as soon as they were dropped off in Canada.

“Take everything from your pockets and put it in your bags — only ‘dinero’ [‘money’] in your pockets.”

Climate Alarmists Invent New Weather Phenomenon: ‘Frost Quakes’

(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) Climate alarmists appear to have invented a new weather phenomenon, “frost quakes,” to describe the ground freezing quickly when temperatures shift drastically, as reported by Legal Insurrection.

Per Sarah Thunberg, a meteorologist with CBS, the frost quakes are something like localized earthquakes.

“It can feel like an earthquake,” she said ahead of a new Northeastern polar vortex passing through upper New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. “You can feel a little shake from it.”

NBC also got in on the fear-mongering, claiming that climate change causes temperature fluctuations, which may lead to frost quakes.

“There is a climate connection to frost quakes,” they wrote.

“A 2016 study revealed that frost quakes could become more frequent in a warming climate,” they continued. “This is because as winters continue to warm (winters are the fastest warming season), the ground remains thawed for longer with a higher prevalence of liquid water in the soil.”

Yahoo! News also reported that “frost quakes could become more frequent in a warming climate.”

Not to be outdone by corporate media shills, the Bangor Daily News interviewed Sean Birkel, a climatologist at the University of Maine Climate Change Institute, who said the world’s surfeit of cow flatulence and gas stoves may soon turn New England into a regular San Andreas as the new ground-zero for frost quakes.

“Maine winters are warming and as part of a changing climate, we are seeing a tendency for more extreme weather events,” Birkel said. “In winter this can mean patterns that bring extreme cold followed by extreme warmth.”

The climate change scientist claimed ocean temperatures have increased the likelihood of “frost quakes,” despite admitting to having no data to back up his assertion.

“One of the factors is a warming ocean surface that increases evaporation and overall more moisture entering the atmosphere,” Birkel said. “That means there is more moisture available for precipitation and that is, in part, fueling more rainfall.”

Pennsylvania Cancels Battle Re-Enactments

(Ezekiel Loseke, Headline USA) Pennsylvania has canceled battle re-enactments, joining a long list of states seeking to cancel public displays memorializing American history.

The Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission issued the new rule, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The commission said that none of its 23 historical sites could be used for re-enactments that feature exchanges of weapons firing, casualties, hand-to-hand combat, “or any other form of simulated warfare or violence between opposing forces.”

The state agency said it imitated the National Parks Service’s policy.

The rule will cancel a re-enactment that has been performed for 40 consecutive years.

The re-enactment portrayed a rendition of the Battle of Bushy Run. A battle between Native Americans and British troops that was part of the Pontiac’s Rebellion following the French and Indian War. The Bushy Run Battlefield Heritage Society put on the re-enactment. Members of the Society denounced the rule at a community meeting on Sunday.

“This is not just a pretend weekend,” said Rob Malley, a board member of the Society. “If this all stands, we have to reinvent ourselves.”

The new rule comes on the heels of a failed attempt by the state to cancel the re-enactment over fake racism. Mr. Malley reported that the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission had previously requested that the event be canceled because “nontribal members” portrayed Native Americans. The group refused the request because it was last minute but said it would consult the tribes at the commission’s behest.

A spokesperson for the commission told WSJ that it is developing a rule that would “require members of federally recognized tribes to portray tribal figures in re-enactments at its historic sites.”

Pennsylvania is not the only state to have its history attacked.

New York saw several canceled re-enactments after the state prohibited weapons–including the black powder rifles used for re-enactments– from public parks.

In Maine, dozens of people recently protested Civil War re-enactors carrying Confederate flags.

Because the National Park Service has long forbidden re-enactments on its property, Gettysburg re-enactments have been forced onto private land near the original battle site.
